My Project

My 4th and 5th Graders have been working very hard so far this year, that we have found ourselves in short supply of many basic school materials that every kid needs to be successful. We often share community supplies in class, because students do not always come prepared with school supplies in the beginning of the year. We are running extremely low on pencils, erasers, copy paper, highlighters, colored pencils, markers, Kleenex tissues, to name a few.

As we start the New Year, I'm hoping to set my students up for success with these simple new materials that would help them envision a fresh start and ease the flow of learning.

All of these materials are used everyday, from basic assignments to complex tasks and projects that require glue, colored pencils, and even printed projects that students created!

We were fortunate to receive a colored printer on donors choose from our last project, but are in need of ink for these projects.

We also could benefit from a new rug and 2 sitting stools for some special activities such as debates and "hot seat".
